BS EN 13235 is a European Standard that specifies the conditions for the determination of the tensile creep deformation and failure behaviour of ceramic matrix composite materials. The behaviour is determined with continuous fibre reinforcement for temperatures up to 2000 °C under vacuum or in a gas atmosphere that is inert to the material under test.
BS EN 13235 applies to all-ceramic matrix composites with continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1 D), bidirectional (2 D), and tri-directional (x D, where 2 < x ≤ 3), loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement.
BS EN 13235 on creep behaviour of ceramics is relevant to:
Ceramic matrix composites have great mechanical properties. They are also very good for the environment and reduce fuel consumption. Durability, temperature resistance, and excellent strength are just a few of the properties that make ceramic matrix composites a necessity in various industries. However, determining their creep behaviour is critical. Creep behaviour in ceramics can imply the stress taking capacity and resistance of the ceramics. When it comes to critical applications BS EN 13235 must be adhered to ensure high performance of advanced technical ceramics.
BS EN 13235 also includes several test conditions that prevent changes to the material as a result of chemical reactions to the test environment. The tests listed in BS EN 13235 aid in the best possible determination of creep behaviour of ceramic composites to ensure and demonstrate the best ceramic performance. BS EN 13235 has guidelines that can help you determine the creep behaviour of advanced technical ceramics very efficiently and ensure maximum durability and credibility of the same.
